1. good video tenkss

2. thx men <3

3. Let me just say, you have a great smile 😊

4. Can you pls try it with steam games?

5. 5600x/3070/SN850
   It dropped my read speed by 50mb ish. Nothing on the read sequential 1mb but boosted the write one instead (+150).
   Significantly boosted both my read and write for random 4KiB 32 queues (+300).
   Read 4KiB 1 queues did +5 but write did +20.

6. From the original article, "If you have a connection rating under 10 Mbps, you will likely see no benefit." So how many people fit into the category where this may be of benefit? I suspect not many. Even when you consider Windows server, most are running VM's these days and probably fall outside any benefit too.

7. Didn't really see a change on my setup, but I love trying new tweaks!

8. wouldn't you need to set this on all your windows machines to see better performance?

9. trying this on windows 11

10. Super clickbait

11. Hahaha at the end I felt the Mutahar vibes. Great video.

12. Not recommended, slowed down my system, u would notice lag spikes.

    I removed it after a few days on testing and thankfully it returned to normal.

13. So I guess that makes you a tweaker

14. 1. There is no need to reboot. Just restart the service with powershell. Restart-Service -name server 2. Be on the look out for Event ID 2021 in your logs. if you see it change your setting +-3. IRPStackSize value range is from 11 (0xb hexadecimal) to 50 (0x32 hexadecimal). On some old computers, values from 33 through 38 can cause problems.

15. hmm i don't have that IRP odd

16. Hi Chris, thanks for the video…..

    I have one question, is there any command in powershell where I can temporary disable the windows 10 firewall and restore it. Thank you!

17. hmmm thats epic keep it up man i like ur twiks

18. What if we doubled that IRPStack value?… Anyone done that?

19. And I thought that the bottleneck was always the connection from the server side cause if traffic, bad connections etc… i download 1gb map for sat-nav in over an hour and now … yeah 10sec faster.

20. Im kinda confused here and I apologize beforehand because I like your content. Im not sure if its intentional or not. You talk about it, never mention it exclusively but mention gaming several times along with gaming load tests. This setting is for filesharing. You need to have a shared folder with a NAS or a server, you need to have some kind of network environment for this to work. This is not a gaming tweak. Its for very specific use case different from gaming. Maybe if you host a LAN party with lots of computers that are downloading games-its perfect for that. But this setting wont improve the average gamer (people who even copy/pasting or use scripts that disable LanManServer). I do not understand the CrystalDisk test before & after without transferring some kind of file. Ofc. it will show the same results.
    Another thing is that you talk about these registry "hacks" as they are brand new or you just now learn about them. (NonBestEffortLimit comes to mind). These tweaks are since Win7 & maybe before. Based on what you show and what work you did before, I kinda doubt you learn about them just now. I mean if you did, it would be concerning. maybe you're that more of a Linux guy, IDK. The point is I feel the approach is slightly misleading because now every child & noob will start spamming, ect. (I had to short cause got too big). I hope you see this as a constructive criticism.

21. Chri any reason why i cant find the services or lanman in regedit?

22. How do you load and play games from network storage?

23. Maybe RDR2 was optimized in the meantime between your tests…

24. Wait how you edit videos without windows?

25. Hey Chris
    I have a question
    What's the most commonly use server distro???
    Cuz I'm curios

26. thank for the video Chris….Would this affect regular download from a website? or would a download manager be a better fix?

27. No. a fail you already have it at 32. you delete the key and remake it. then reboot

28. Chris says "I sped up my Windows 10 by using one weird trick!" 🙂 Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

29. Watching this on my MX Linux.

30. No news is good news.

31. NIce video sir!! I have a one damn problem with my ubuntu 20.01 LTE Where most of the old PPA Packages missing out , with that i cannot install so many apps, its so annoying, if u bring a solution to that and post a reply i would appriciate…….

32. interesting but one game is not really a proper testing.
    Maybe 3 at least Chris.

33. hey Chris, i looked at my lanmanserver setting and it was already at 32 ^^

34. Cheers certainly helped a bit.

35. Ah yes the black art of networking. For the life of me I cannot get W10 64 to talk to my wife's PC which is also W10 32 and 3 feet away. Neither thru' LAN using modem nor WiFi. Wifi I can get it once but after a reboot it's gone again.

36. Love your channel. Hope to have a chance to chat with over on Twitch.

37. I'm brought back to the late 90's with all the network- (and system-)tweaking programs. Ah those halcyon days.

38. yep that sped up video streaming from my NAS substantially, scrolling/skipping a large MKV file in VLC is almost instantaneous and without pixelating.

39. Love your videos
